Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty Nine: On the Soul of the Army

Amid the rumbling drums at the top of Fukang City, Liu Huajian's cavalry brigade turned into a front team and slowly retreated. The tight strings on the city suddenly loosened, and cheers came from there. In a moment, cheers above the city were rising one after another. They actually made the enemy retreat. Every soldier was filled with pride.

However, Suo Wenhai, who was above the city, lowered the drumsticks dejectedly, looked at the team that slowly left, and sighed with regret.

"Liu Huajian, the leader of the military guards, indeed, no one who can sit in this position is a simple person, a master!" he murmured.

Hearing the cheers above the city wall, Liu Huajian turned around and smiled coldly.

"General Liu, they are too arrogant. Why don't we hit him!" Zhang Xi, the deputy general beside him, said angrily.

Liu Huajian smiled, turned around and pointed to the city, "Xizi, who is the person above?"

"The White Lotus Bandit!" Zhang Xi said strangely.

"Yes, the White Lotus bandit!" Liu Huajian looked at Zhang Xi, "Although the White Lotus bandit we encountered this time is a bit different, the bandits are bandits after all, and this will not change."

"What does the general mean?"

"Even if they can use some means to gather these farmers from not long ago together to form a certain combat power, the military spirit that an army can possess cannot be formed in a short period of time. For example, our leader guards have been established for hundreds of years, hundreds of years of inheritance, and countless glory make every new joiner feel honored and have a strong sense of belonging. Can they have this? Do not be arrogant when winning, do not be discouraged when defeated, resilience, the most basic quality of an army is not easily cultivated by these white lotus bandits!" Liu Huajian looked proudly at the flying leading guard flag and said.

"The general said yes!" Zhang Xi nodded.

"White Lotus has caused so many great ups and downs in history. How many times have the court beaten to a slump? How many times have it beaten the court almost to the end, but it gritted its teeth and survived that hurdle. What was the result? In the end, it was all Bailian who was defeated. The court revived the mountains and rivers." Liu Huajian spread his hands, "Why didn't I beat today? There were no people who saw the man beating the drum on the city tower? Eighty-mostly the cripple in those people's mouths. This person was determined to burn these hundreds of thousands of kilograms of food. It can be seen that he was a determined person, not a general. Listening to the drum sound and looking at the scene in the city, the soldiers in the city have been successfully inspired by this person and inspired fighting spirit. This is also a characteristic of the White Lotus bandits, which are very easy to be motivated. At this time, we attack, wouldn't we just hit the iron plate?"

Zhang Xi then realized, "So that's it. General, this is also a slow-moving strategy. How can blood last for a long time? It is difficult to maintain fighting spirit. This is what military strategy says, one move will make one move, and then the second one loses. Three is exhausted!"

Liu Huajian laughed, "No, not bad, Xizi, you understand military tactics and have actual experience in leading troops, but one thing is that you are not enough to judge the situation. Of course, this is related to your youth, young people. You are passionate, but if you can stand alone in the future, you have to be more careful. The military book says that the soldiers will win. At present, there are a group of soldiers in Fukang City. Victory may not be sure, but it is enough to bring us great harm. Since you can win at the lowest price, you don't have to pay more. Sometimes war is like doing business. You have to plan to exchange the smallest capital for the greatest profit. If you make more money, you can invest more capital to win greater victory next time!"

"Thank you for your teachings!" Zhang Xi clasped his fists and said, "But I have always followed the general. The temple is considered to have a general, so it is enough for me to have the heat and surging!"

"One day, you have to stand alone!" Liu Huajian sighed: "There are talents in the country and the new generation is the old one. This is the law of history."

The two walked silently for a while, and Zhang Xi suddenly asked: "General Liu, what you said just now is that our leadership guards can form military spirit and morale, thanks to hundreds of years of inheritance, but what I don't understand is that Yun Zhao, the army of the Northern Expedition Army, has only been established for a few years. Why is the combat effectiveness so strong? And many battles have also shown that this army is not only resilient, but also extremely resilience, which is extremely terrifying. I have studied their several battles with the Mongolian Army, which is amazing!"

"You asked about the idea!" Liu Huajian said: "Yun Zhao is lucky! Of course, I said that he is lucky and does not deny this person's talent? This is exactly the so-called heroes in the times. He rushed to the idea! Of course, if he does not have the ability, no matter how good the times are, it is impossible to succeed."

"General, you haven't said why the Northern Army can have military spirits?"

Liu Huajian smiled, "National War! This is the easiest thing to unite people. The Meng people and I have been in trouble for hundreds of years. On the border, there are constant frictions every year. The hatred between the two tribes has lasted for a long time. The Meng people saw the opportunity of the alternation of the throne of the Great Yue, and launched a large-scale invasion. This led to the external environment of Yun Zhao's rise. The border people have never had to mobilize to fight against the Mongolian people."

"The battle between the two princes to seize the throne can be said to have directly led to the defeat on the front line, and the Lucheng border army was defeated. Who was the last part of the army trained by Feng Congyi? Yun Zhao, Meng Yao, Ding Qiu, these original backbone of the Lucheng border army were redesigned, but it is no longer a secret."

Zhang Xi nodded.

"Yun Zhao was originally a horse bandit, but who taught this horse bandit? Shen Feng! My famous general of Da Yue. Although this horse bandit is nominally a bandit, it is actually a great force to restrain the Mongolian people on the border of Da Yue. Unfortunately, none of Yan Da and Shen Feng have a good ending!" Liu Huajian shook his head: "So, the Eagle-billed Rock Horse Bandits are more like a good army with the soul of my Great Yue army than saying that they are horse bandits. Like Yun Zhao's current cavalry commander Yan Xiaoyi and Deputy Commander He Ren, most of them are from Yingzui Rock. Anqing Border

Under Yue Ming's training, the army was another powerful anti-Mongolian army. This army eventually fell into Yun Zhao's hands. Su Dingfang, Hu Zehua and others were originally powerful generals of my Great Yue, especially Su Dingfang. You should know his name. This person was famous in the capital back then, and even the daughter of the Cao family dared to kill with one knife. Kill the daughter of the Chief Auxiliary family and could leave Beijing safely. It can be seen that this person is not a simple person. Even among the imperial guards in the capital today, there are still many old generals who are very sorry to talk about this person!"

"The other famous generals under Yun Zhao, Huo Zhenting, Park Demeng, Yao Changkun, Zhou Guangyi, Shi Gandang, that one general who has not been famous for a long time, has already taken shape. How could the White Lotus Bandit Army compare with? With the great reputation of resisting Mongolia and the loyal support of these long-standing generals, how can the Northern Expedition Army not be strong? Yun Zhao's strength lies in his ability to make these people willingly serve him and serve him allegiance. This is his most cleverness!"

"So, although Yun Zhao's Battle of the North has been established for several years, the army under his command is mostly the original army of our Great Yue. The military spirit and morale have long been formed. He has just injected new things into it and merged into a merger to form the unique military spirit of the North Army today. It truly belongs to Yun Zhao's military spirit. This is the reason why the North Army is powerful!"

"General Gao Jian, I understand!" Zhang Xi nodded.

"Do you really understand?" Liu Huajian smiled: "Sometimes I don't understand that even if Yun Zhao has studied, there will be no famous teachers to teach him. If he can accumulate experience in actual combat in war, how did he come up with the policies of governing the local area? How could he have an army of 100,000, and the Yizhou he is entrenched in is still prosperous? In the end, the battle is money and the economy! The reason why Meng people are stuck in the way is that Wuda is eager for quick success and instant benefits is because of economic reasons, and he is not allowed to fight a protracted war with us!"

"Is there really someone who is born to know it?" Liu Huajian looked up at the sky and murmured. "General Cheng's ambition is afraid that he will be challenged by this person in the future!"

If Yun Zhao heard Liu Huajian's words here, he would definitely laugh out loud. In Yun Zhao's opinion, the so-called policy of governing local areas is extremely simple. That is how to make the most ordinary people live well, and the best policy. As long as this is done, it would be enough! Unfortunately, all officials in Dayue understand this principle, and even can tell a set of great principles and use high-sounding words to make these articles pass through the ages, but they cannot do it. However, the area under Yun Zhao's control cannot write these good articles, but they can implement these things in a solid manner. This is the difference.

As a member of this system and a high-ranking person, Liu Huajian naturally couldn't think of the key points. He could only lament that the times were not good and that the people's surname was too clever, which allowed the White Lotus bandits to find an opportunity.

"General Liu, since the fighting spirit in Fukang City cannot last long, can we do more things to further dissipate their fighting spirit?" Zhang Xi asked.

"Oh, what do you want to do?" Liu Huajian asked with his head tilted.

"General, it will take at least one day for the infantry to arrive here. After arriving here, we will organize attacking equipment and weapons, and at least one or two days. During this period, we can go to the city to show off our martial power!" Zhang Xi smiled. "When the infantry arrives, every time the craftsmen in the army create some powerful siege equipment, we can pull them to the city to intimidate the other party. In this way, will the morale in the city dissipate faster?" Zhang Xi suggested.

"Good idea, you can do these things!" Liu Huajian spread his hands. "After Tu'an comes, you will be the siege and let Tu'an assist you. This time I am the boss of the hand."
